Synopsis
After the first story Black Light is all re-used.
Jean Paul (Tim Jerome) tells us what a great show he's putting on: dancing, singing, telling stories and jokes. Everybody thinks he's great except one girl. He talks to her after the show. He tells the story of his awful life: orphaned at 2, beaten at the orphanage, running away at 7, terrible jobs, living on the street, eating out of garbage cans. She wants him to tell stories from his life in his act, make it real. She takes him to her place, they spend the night. He rejects her advice.
